Stratospheric Ozone and Human Health

This page replaces the former Stratospheric Ozone and Human Health Project SEDAC web site which had included the following: Research and Impact Reports, Near-real time UV dose estimates using TOMS ozone data, the Thematic Guide on Ozone Depletion and Global Environmental Change, Human Health Data Resources, Related Internet Resources, Ultra violet Interactive Service (UVIS), and Bibliographic Database. Those pages have not been updated. They have been retired and are no longer supported by SEDAC. However, for those interested, it is possible to request some of these files from the SEDAC User Services (click on the “Help” button in the upper menu).

Please find below links to selected publications by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) related to environmental and health effects of stratospheric ozone depletion, its monitoring, and regulation.

Bibliography

Dr. Robert C. Worrest, former Senior Research Scientist at CIESIN, created a bibliography consisting of scientific papers and materials related to the environmental effects of stratospheric ozone depletion. The earliest citation is from 1943, and the most recent in May 2011. The topics coincide with, but are not limited by, those covered in the UNEP Environmental Effects Assessment Panel’s Assessment.

Presented below are pdfs of the alphabetical lists of published papers by topic from the Worrest Bibliography.
